QUESTION 1

Juan: ‘Now, ATC are saying ‘_______________’. What do I have to do?’

Peter: ‘It just means that you are at the correct altitude, speed and direction (heading) to land at the airport and we should start to follow the landing instructions for this airport. I have them here.’

QUESTION 2

Juan: ‘Ok. It also says ‘contact Heathrow tower ______________ to 121.45′.’

Peter: ‘It basically means that you are being switched to another air traffic controller at a different air traffic control centre (at the actual airport). They will guide you to actually land the plane. Change frequency means that you have to change the radio frequency so you can actually talk to them. So, change your radio’s frequency to 121.45.’

Juan: ‘Done.’
